Quest for 7's in the 1/8

Ive got a rmvb with a column shift in my 69 roadrunner. (I can't take credit for the mod, done by a previous owner) The shift pawl has been modified, ground on, so that first (previously drive) has no detent to defeat. One -two shift is a tap down, no pull, then two-three is a pull toward driver and down. If you pull from first , you will likely get third, so when racing, you actually have to concentrate on doing it right,
